The latest episode of Landman delivered major shocks for the Norris family and M-Tex Oil. In Season 2, Episode 4, titled “Dancing Rainbows,” a deadly accident creates a crisis for the company while a family funeral forces Tommy Norris to finally reveal a painful childhood tragedy that explains decades of family tension.
A Deadly Crash and Rebecca’s Reckless Response
The episode begins with a serious incident. An M-Tex semi-truck is involved in a fatal collision, resulting in the deaths of two men. This disaster strikes as the company is already in a fragile financial state. Lawyer Rebecca learns about the crash while rushing to catch a flight but makes a surprising choice. Instead of immediately managing the crisis, she has a “wild night” with Charlie Newsom. This moment of poor judgment shows Rebecca becoming disconnected from her duties at M-Tex, raising questions about her future with the company.
The official episode description states the crash “sets off a day of reckoning, unearthing painful memories for Tommy and Cooper. Rebecca survives a wild night.”
Cami’s Desperate Move to Save M-Tex
With M-Tex on the brink of collapse, Cami Miller takes extreme action. In a bold move, she approaches powerful rival Dan Morrell and asks him to become an investor to rescue the company. She is so committed to this plan that she instructs her assistant to prepare her mortgaged home for sale. However, Dan sets a firm condition. He tells Cami he will not make a deal unless Tommy Norris is also part of the agreement. This leaves Cami in a difficult position, unable to move forward without Tommy’s cooperation.
A Funeral Brings Family Tensions to the Surface
The episode centers on the funeral for Tommy’s mother, Dorothy Norris. The service brings the fractured Norris family together, including Tommy’s ex-wife Angela and their children, Cooper and Ainsley. Tommy’s father, T.L., is also present, and old resentments flare up immediately. Tommy is openly angry, believing his father abandoned the family during their hardest times.
In a quiet moment, T.L. does not argue. He admits he failed his family, saying he left and in the process lost both his wife and his son. This admission marks a potential turning point in their strained relationship.
Cooper and Ariana’s Surprising Reunion
A key moment noticed by sharp-eyed fans involves Cooper Norris and Ariana. The couple had broken up earlier in the season because Ariana could not accept the dangers of Cooper’s oil business. However, in scenes from the funeral, Ariana is seen sitting with the Norris family. Her presence at an intimate family event several hours from home strongly suggests she and Cooper have reconciled.
The Heartbreaking Truth About Tommy’s Sister
The episode’s most emotional revelation comes from Tommy. After the funeral, he finds his daughter Ainsley crying. She is heartbroken over the story of her grandmother’s difficult life. To comfort her, Tommy shares a family secret he has carried for years.
He tells Ainsley that he once had a baby sister who died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). This devastating loss shattered his mother, Dorothy, and caused his father, T.L., to emotionally withdraw from the family. Tommy was left to deal with his own grief as a young boy while his family fell apart around him. Sharing this painful memory with his daughter and ex-wife Angela finally allows him to begin healing from this childhood trauma.
A Tentative Step Toward Family Healing
By the end of the episode, the shared grief and honesty lead to a small sign of hope. In a gesture of reconciliation, Tommy brings his father, T.L., back to his home, signaling a willingness to rebuild their relationship. Meanwhile, the business crisis at M-Tex remains unresolved, with the company’s future now depending on a deal that requires Tommy’s involvement.
Landman Season 2, Episode 4 “Dancing Rainbows,” is currently available for streaming exclusively on Paramount+.
